INTER STATE COMMERCE.
Report OF the Com mission-Nunerous
Suggestions Made.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The annual re-
port of the Interstate commerce commits
sion shows total railroad mileage of 1877,
$50 and not less than 1900 railroads operat-
ed by 500 corporations The cost of coDstruc-
ton was s, ,254 ,o95, 223; funded debt, s., $50.
aG6 SO ; interest paid last year, sls7, $780,
$40 dividends, $500 lbs. The report in
Inmates some carriers by water and the
express companies are guilty of acts for
hidden by the interstate act and might
with benefit be brought within the con-
temptation of the act. The commission
says the long and short haul clause has
done away with the evil it was intended
to correct and in many cases has resulted
IN general reduction throughout the
line. There has also been gratifying ad-
vance toward bringing freight tariffs
into conformity with the general rule pre-
scribed by the fourth section.
Many serious abuses in the railway SER
vice, notorious before the passage, have
now ceased. One was the giving of
special secret rebates complaints of I'm:
Just discrimination and giving undue, I'M
reasonable preferences by open rates are
still frequent. In the existing tariffs
there are many rates unfair and oppres-
sivc. Whereas formerly the carriers
made determinations at pleasure and
gave preferences for which their own in.
lereSt or convenience was deeme Il suf-
icient reason, the Determinations now
complained of are such as the carriers I'M
derstand theJ may be called upon to de
fend and the defense to be successful
must be based on grounds OF substantial
justice. or IA least on grounds not pal
pably untenable.
The commission feel justified in saying
the operation OF the Interstate commerce
act in general has been beneficial and has
operated directly to increase railroad
earnings in cutting off free passes on in
ter-State traffic, putting an end to rebates,
drawbacks and special rates upon freight
business. There has been some reduction
OF passenger fares, especially in the
charges made for mileage tickets in the
Northwest. The commission believe the
law ought 20 indicate in plain terms
whether the express business and all other
transportation by carriers named in the
&C, shall be governed by Its provisions.
